Dog Training Mistakes - The Top 3 Worse Mistakes You Can Make While Training Your Dog

If you own a dog then you know how difficult your furry friend can be at times. However, with the proper training and a whole lot of patience, your dog can start behaving the way you want him to.

Before you start training your dog, there are several common mistakes that many people make when they begin training. I will be going over the top 3 most common mistakes, so pay attention!

1. Don't make it a habit of always "punishing" your dog when you call him. What I'm talking about is doing something to him that he doesn't enjoy. For example, it's not a good idea to call your dog and then clip his nails. Don't make it a habit of calling your dog and then tying him up. Make sure you occasionally call your dog just to talk to him in a cheerful voice, pet him, and tell him what a good dog he is. You don't want him to always associate bad things when you call for him, or he won't want to continue coming when you call!

2. Don't simply ignore your dog's bad behavior because you think he will eventually grow out of it, because he won't. Instead, make it a point to teach what is, and what is not, appropriate behavior.

3. Don't ever hit your dog or cause him physical pain as method of training. This will only make your dog aggressive, or at the very least, a submissive wetter. It's always more effective to reward your dog for good behavior instead of punishing him. After all, your dog's goal is to please you!

How to Stop Barking Dogs - Expert Dog Obedience Behavioural Training

Hyperactive dog and puppies may feel compelled to bark at anything plus everything that moves, reasoning they are being good protection house pets, oblivious that dog barking is bringing about to their masters a serious inconvenience.  A dog barking is enough to really send both you and your neighbours to the brink of frustration and no matter how many persons notify you that dog yapping is a "totally normal thing", you understand inside that the barking your dog performs is not at all normal and the way he methodically triggers his bouts of barking implies there has to be a problem somewhere.

Why Do Dogs Bark?

Barking comes naturally to dogs but it can be an irritating sound. It actually is a means to displaying dominant behaviour and should your dog refuse to obey and continues to bark back to you with aggression, and then he believes that he is the leader of the pack.  It is worthwhile emphasising however that barking is standard behaviour for canines, but when it takes place excessively it's troublesome for your neighbours and negatively influences your dog's behavioural health

Stopping a Barking Dog - Identification and Training

Training your dog to stop barking yourself is actually a lot easier than getting a professional trainer involved.  Teaching your dog to quit barking does not have to be traumatic, no one enjoys the noisy barking sound coming from your dog, particularly late a night so let's move through some tips to manage and control your dogs barking.

Motives for barking can be either as a result of a integral behaviour problem or the conditions and setting adding to the barking so think over these tips to help recognise and cease your dog barking;

Observe your dog for an extended period and understand for what purpose and duration he or she barks.

You are now aware of what triggers the barking episodes and it is important to now teach what acceptable behaviour is and what is not;

Avoid negative, punishment based approaches and use more positive, reward-based training methods instead.

While there are training collars to help with this problem, you should first try to find out why your dog is barking.  Dog bark training can often be accomplished without resorting to specialty collars by simply paying attention to the cause of the dog's barking.  If you customarily apply penalty based instruction systems you may be producing other behavioural difficulties in your dog, for example, biting or offensive behaviour, especially with respect to the individual distributing the penalty.

Attention Deficit Dog Barking Problems

If your dog barks for no other reason than to get attention, you can rely on obedience training to solve the problem.  You may have inadvertently reinforced this behaviour if as a puppy your dog barked a lot and you gave him attention to stop the barking.  If you suspect your dog is barking for attention, you can start to retrain him by making sure that he is getting enough exercise.  Make sure to spend 1-1 time with your dog daily and make it fun so that your dog learns that he doesn't need to bark to get your attention.  Bark Control Training can be a tricky problem to solve even for experienced dog trainers.  The most important thing to remember is to use common sense, place reasonable expectations on the dog, and remember that just as the problem didn't develop overnight that changing it back won't either.
